Lee Jung-hoo hits 4th home run against Kim Ha-seong's Braves

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo showcased his power against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, hitting his fourth home run of the season. The solo blast came in the fifth inning of a suspended game, during which fellow Korean major leaguer Kim Ha-seong was also in the starting lineup for the Braves.

Lee's home run, a first-pitch swing against Braves pitcher Dylan Dodd, sailed over the right-field wall. This marked his first home run in 34 days, following an inside-the-park homer in late April. The game itself was a continuation of a match suspended due to rain the previous day. Lee had already contributed a sacrifice fly in the first inning and finished the game with one hit, one home run, two RBIs, and one run scored, maintaining his batting average at .331.

In contrast, Kim Ha-seong, playing right field for the Braves, had a difficult day at the plate. He went hitless in three at-bats, drew a walk, and struck out twice, extending his current hitless streak to four games. His season batting average dropped to .085.

The Giants ultimately won the suspended game 7-2. Both Lee and Kim played in a subsequent scheduled game on the same day, making it a doubleheader. Meanwhile, in another MLB game, San Diego Padres infielder Song Sung-moon entered as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and recorded a hit and a run scored in his team's 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
